How are you trying to do the installation? What error do you get? Where does it stop? It seems you have an EFI partition; what is your firmware setup, are you using BIOS or EFI?

Q: How are you trying to do the installation? A: I have flashed the 64bit iso with Balena on to a 64Gb USB3.0 Stick (I have installed ArcoLinux also like this on this specific system) On a second system the flash drive boots up and I get onto the Haiku Desktop. Also an EFI system, but completely different hardware.
Q: What error do you get No errors just a black screen after the first Haiku Splash (the little icons) Holding shift during boot before the Splash screen does not work. I'm not getting the "Safe"mode
Q: Where does it stop? Right after the Splash (the little icons)
Q: are you using BIOS or EFI EFI

Holding shift during boot before the Splash screen does not work. I'm not getting the "Safe"mode
This is incompatible with EFI boot, instead please try mashing the space bar.
Once you get the bootloader try the option use failsafe graphics.

YES! That was it, Mashing the space bar! I have booted into Haiku...
Unable to connect to wifi on the live environment, only tethered at the moment
I have this issue with the rtl8723ae wifi also on any linux distro (Arch/Debian). I need to install the Linux OS, add a rtl8723ae.connf file to the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder. The contents of the conf file is as follows: "options rtl8723ae msi=1 fwlps=0 ant_sel=1"
Will this work also for Haiku?
Thanks in advance

No, this wont work because our drivers come from OpenBSD and are different from the Linux ones. I don't know if such options are configurable in OpenBSD.

Yes it works different for OpenBSD, I have no experience yet with OpenBSD, but I have found the following link:
https://man.openbsd.org/rtwn.4
Do I understand it correctly that I need to add a file in the /etc/firmware/rtwn-rtl8723ae?
comment:8 by , 22 months ago
The firmware should be provided by the realtek_wifi_firmwares, is it installed? It should be in /system/data/firmware (our directory layout is a bit different from OpenBSD).
I don't see any configuration file documented. Maybe someone more familiar with this driver can help you.

Our rtwn driver actually comes from FreeBSD. It doesn't have configuration files, either we have the necessary files or we don't. I think it may not support RTL8723AE at all, though.

If it doesn't support the rtl8723ae then that is to bad for me then. THank you
